Create a Quick Clipping Path Using PhotoshopFollow these three easy steps to quickly and effectively cut out images using Photoshop, for use in Adobe Indesign. Though you can customize your frames in Indesign utilizing Photoshop is often a faster option. Pen Tool Open up the image you want to cut out in Photoshop. Then trace the portion of the image you want to cut out with the pen tool. You can do this manually or if the background is a solid color select the background using the quick select tool, then right-click the selection and select convert to path. Create the Clipping Path Under the Path Menu, double click the path you just made. A window will open prompting you to name the path that you are saving. Name the path whatever you like, then click ok. Now in the pull-down menu next to the tab that says paths there should be an option that says “Clipping Path” select this (see the second image if you want a visual). Another window will pop up just click ok. Save for Use in Indesign Save your file as a tiff, with any name you would like. Then exit Adobe Photoshop. Open the Indesign file that you prepared the image for, drag the tiff file onto your document and there you have it! Editing The Path Using Indesign or Photoshop You can access the path to edit it in Indesign by using the direct select tool. The path will appear red and it is editable, or if you would like you can reopen the image in Photoshop, by right clicking and select under the “Edit with” submenu Photoshop. If you simply save, and then close Photoshop any changes you make will automatically update. Simply follow these three easy steps and you can cut out images quickly and effectively for all your Indesign projects. echo $variable;The post 3 Easy Steps to Use a Photoshop Clipping Path in InDesign appeared first on Photoshop Online. via Blogger 3 Easy Steps to Use a Photoshop Clipping Path in InDesign

In this tutorial, we are going to learn how to make a blend of pictures for a header, which can be used for a website layout. In the tutorial, we will be using Adobe Photoshop CS2. The first step, you want to gather about two to three pictures you want to use, and then open them up in Photoshop. I’m using Britney Spears for my example. Next, you want to make a bigger document, this is where you will be pasting your pictures together and blending them. Make it big enough to move the pictures around. Once you paste your pictures on the document, have them overlap each other. Now it’s time to blend. There are many ways to blend. Some people use the lasso tool, layer masking, or the eraser tool. However, in this tutorial, we are going to be using the Eraser Tool since it’s such an easy way to blend pictures together. So click your eraser tool on your toolbar at the top in your Photoshop, and set the brush size to 100px.Take your eraser tool and erase over the extra pieces of the picture that is over-lapping the other picture. You’ll start to notice that it’s blending together. Go to Layer then Merge Visible. Now this is optional, it really depends on your pictures. I wanted to bring my pictures out, so I went to Filter-Sharpen-Sharpen. Notice how it made the pictures a lot clearer? Next, I’m also going to brighten my pictures a little bit. This also is optional, and it really depends on the pictures you are using. If your pictures are not that dark, I would not recommend this step, because you don’t want your pictures being too bright. Now onto the brightening the pictures. Go to Layer – Brightness/Contrast and play around with the settings until you find something you like. I did a few other things to get my pictures how I wanted them, just play around with different settings until you find something you like.
Now time to add some color. Go to Layer- New Fill Layer- Solid Color. I picked a pretty pink and then set the Layer to Screen 100%. I added a texture, that I got from HG, and put it over my pictures, and erased whatever was over the faces. I also added some text and some brushes for decoration. You can add whatever brushes and text you want. After that, you’re all finished! echo $variable;The post Learning How to Blend Photos in Photoshop appeared first on Photoshop Online. via Blogger Learning How to Blend Photos in Photoshop Intro: There are a lot of effects you can create when using Photoshop. In this guide, I will show you how to define face textures. To really show you how to define facial textures, I will be defining wrinkles on the face. Using Photoshop, you can go into depth on how to enhance facial textures. These steps are easy and can really change an image. You can also use this effect on younger people with smoother skin, but it works best with wrinkles. Here, I will be using Photoshop CS3. If you have older versions of Photoshop, you need to use Hue/Saturation instead of Black and White. Step One: Open the image you want to define facial textures on (File – Open). Step Two: To add a black and white adjustment layer by clicking on the New Adjustment layer Button in the Layers Palette. The icon should look like a circle. Half of it is white and the other half is black. This should create a new layer. Select the Black & White option. Select “Okay” with the default settings. Preset: None. Red – 40. Yellow – 60. Green – 40. Cyans – 60. Blues – 20. Magentas – 80. Step Three: Next you will want to blend the layers. Change the blending option of the layer Black & White to Overlay in the drop down menu. Step Four: Duplicate the Background Layer. To do this, click on the background layer (Layer – Duplicate layer). Another layer of the same image should appear. Step Five: Apply a Plastic Wrap effect. (Filter – Artistic – Plastic Wrap). Your settings should read Plastic Wrap. Highlight Strength – 20, Detail – 15, and Smoothness – 15. Step Six: On the Plastic Wrap Duplicate layer, change the Blending option to Multiply by going to the drop-down menu. Step Seven: Next, add a Layer Mask to the Plastic Wrap Duplicate Image. This icon is in the layers palette and looks like a square with a circle inside of it. Once pressed, you should have a layer mask. Step Eight: Select the Eraser tool in the Tool Palette. Make sure your eraser brush is a decent size and the hardness is set to 0%. Now erase around the skin. This means to erase the plastic wrap that isn’t covered by the skin (the background, the shirt, etc). Make sure when you’re erasing, you’re erasing on the layer mask, not the image. And that’s it! You have now brought out the texture of the skin in eight simple steps! Just remember to select the layer mask option when you’re erasing the plastic wrap. Also, Remember this tutorial is used with Photoshop CS2 and newer. If you have older versions of Photoshop, you would need to use Hue/Saturation instead of Black and White. Hope this tutorial has helped! echo $variable;The post Photoshop Tutorial: How to Define Facial Textures appeared first on Photoshop Online. via Blogger Photoshop Tutorial: How to Define Facial Textures In this tutorial we are going to be making a metallic interface menu using Photoshop, this tutorial can be completed with Photoshop 7+ to CS3. This menu can be used for websites and blogs among other things, so let’s get started then. Creating the menu. First, let’s open Photoshop, and open up a new document (Ctrl + N). As for its size, 250×350 should suffice, with white as the background. Then create a new layer (Shift + Ctrl + N). Now let’s select the rounded rectangle tool, you’ll have to right-click on the rectangle tool which is under the text tool to find it. Then make a selection with it similar to the size shown in the pictures (It will automatically fill in with just black, but don’t worry about that. It’s about to change.) Then select your rectangular marquee tool, it’s located at the top-left of your menu bar. On your layers window, you should see two layers. On the new layer, you created, hold down ctrl and click on the thumbnail in the layers window. It should make a selection of your rounded rectangle. Now we need to create a gradient, go to your paint bucket tool and right click on it. Then select the gradient tool, then open up the gradient editor and create a gradient similar to the one shown in the pictures. Apply the gradient to your rounded rectangle selection till you come up with something you like. Time to apply some layer styles to refine the look of this some, so right click on the layer in the layer window and select blending options. First, let’s go to drop shadow, leave everything at its default settings except opacity which we will set to 40% and then check the box to enable. Now let’s go to inner shadow, set the distance to 6 px and the size to 8px. Then set the opacity to 30%, and check the box like before to enable the layer style. Next stop is inner glow, set the color of the glow to pure white (#FFFFFF). Then set the choke to 0% and the size to 40%, and set it’s opacity to 50%. And the last one we’re going to add bevel and emboss, set the depth to 125%. Set the size to 16 px and soften to 8 px, and enable that layer style and click OK. You should have something similar to what I have now. From here you can do several things, what I did was added a 1 px line. Then in the layers style put a gradient overlay on them, with the angle set at 180, the scale at 120%, and finally the opacity at 50%. Then you can duplicate the layer with the line and you’ll have yourself some separators you can use. Then just, for example, I added some text with a drop shadow and outer glow on it. echo $variable;The post How to Create a Metallic Menu in Photoshop appeared first on Photoshop Online. via Blogger How to Create a Metallic Menu in Photoshop I was asked recently where I get my ideas for the things I create. The question surprised me, and I had to answer quite honestly, “I don’t know”. After having thought about it for a couple of weeks, though, I realized that I actually do have an answer: ideas come from life. Everything that I see gets stored into some part of my mind, where some thread of separate thought processes it and mulls it over and when I need a new idea, it’s right there ready and waiting. This logo idea was, to the best I can tell, inspired by a kung-fu movie that I watched. At the end of the movie, the swordsmen are facing off and the scenery goes in an instant from autumn leaves to snow falling fast and hard. It was the emotion that it evoked which inspired this idea. In this guide, I’ll help you create an artistic nature logo. It is three-color and can be applied to a variety of uses. You will only need a copy of Photoshop – 7 or above – and a few minutes of time to create it. Artistic Nature Logo in Photoshop – The Steps
Create a new canvas (File, New) that is in RGB mode with a white background and is sized at least 500 x 500 pixels. If you’ll be displaying the logo only on the Internet, you might think this is too large – it isn’t, trust me. The larger the file you start with, the more uses your logo can be put to without affecting the quality of your graphics.
Set your foreground color to hex #e9badf and your background color to hex #666666. You can change the colors later on by using layer styles if you really want to. For now, stick with me.
Now we want to break up our canvas into 5 pieces. The quickest and easiest way to do this is by using our background color to make two rectangles on the canvas. The first rectangle should be wide and near the top of the canvas, the second should be thin and closer to the bottom. Use your shape tool – not your marquee tool – and rasterize the layers when you’ve got them drawn. (Reference Illustration 01).
Our next step is to create a tree that will actually give “art” to our logo – along with the next step. We want the tree to be in silhouette, so change the gray color to black. Then, use a Photoshop shape to draw out a tree that overfills your canvas. If you don’t have a tree shape, you’re welcome to grab this one. When you’ve drawn the shape, right-click its layer and choose “Rasterize Layer”. (Reference Illustration 01).
This is a fun step because you get to use your imagination about where flowers might fall from, to, and how many of them there should be. Switch your colors so that the pink is your foreground color, and use one of Photoshop’s default flower shapes to start scattering flowers around the canvas. Remember that this is the only real “color” your logo will have, making a bold statement, so be careful with what you do here. (Reference Illustration 02). Make sure that you rasterize each flower after it’s drawn.
Our last step? Add some text. There are 2 spots already set up on your canvas perfect for text – the white space above and below the thin rectangle near the bottom of your logo. The top space should hold your site or company name, and the bottom space will hold your website URL or contact email address or a slogan. Use a clean, sans-serif font (one like Verdana that doesn’t have extra little lines like Times New Roman does). Keep the text as large as you can without making it take up the whole logo. If you need, you can apply a Stroke layer style to help the text stand out from the background. Save and you’re done! echo $variable;The post How to Make an Artistic Nature Logo in Photoshop appeared first on Photoshop Online. via Blogger How to Make an Artistic Nature Logo in Photoshop Toning a monochrome image gives it a subtle tinge of color that changes the feel of an image and gives the photographer another opportunity to present their images in a different way. A sepia tone could be introduced to give an image a period feel, while very subtle warm or cold tones can completely change the atmosphere of a picture. It took an expert darkroom technician to properly tone a print during the film era. Toning was also done not only as an artistic move but also as a way to preserve the image since tests showed that a good sepia-or selenium-toned print would last longer than a regular silver Black and White. In fact, it used to be said that a monochrome print wasn’t really a print unless it was selenium- toned. Today, toning or tinting your Black and White image is purely done for artistic interpretation and a few clicks on the computer is all that is required. There are basically two types of toning -a general overall tone and a split tone. In a general tone, the entire grayscale is converted to the selected tint from the highlights to the shadows. In a split tone, only part of the tonal range is converted, meaning only the shadows or only the highlights are toned or tinted. Split tones are often subtle, and in the case of a sepia split, add a hint of warmth to the image. Split tones can also have two tints where the shadow will be tinted with one color and the highlights with another. Try a cool highlight and progress to warm shadow, or try the reverse, as it’s all a matter of experimentation to see what works best. Hue Saturation Method – Colorize Begin with the original image. Open the Black and White image that you want to be toned. Normally, images with texture and a wide range of tonalities are best for toning. This image is a good candidate because a warm tint may give it a period feel. Colorize it. The easiest way to completely tone an image is via Hue and Saturation adjustment layer. Access this via Layer > New Adjustment Layer>Hue and Saturation. This will add an adjustment layer on top of your Black and White image. Make sure you check the box Colorize. Setting it right. Simple playing with the Hue and Saturation sliders can get you different tints. Experimentation is the key. echo $variable;The post Monochrome Image Toning in Photoshop appeared first on Photoshop Online. via Blogger Monochrome Image Toning in Photoshop Photoshop can be a terrific tool for editing photos but can also be quite intimidating and complex to newer users. Often times, new users of Photoshop don’t realize there are often several different techniques to accomplish the same result and more often than not, resort to one of the canned filters to achieve something that is better left to using a layering technique. My hope here is to give newer Photoshop users a quick introduction to some layers techniques to fix some of the most common photo problems. Too dark or too light? When you first pull up your photo in Photoshop, you often get a sense from just looking at it that it is either too dark or too light. Sometimes it might be just right but I have found over the years that this happens far less frequently. If you can’t seem to figure out if it’s too dark or too light, you can check Photoshop’s Levels histogram to see the distribution of tones in the image. This is essentially a chart with dark tones on the left and light tones on the right. If more of the chart is on the left, the darker the image is and vice-versa. In some cases, it may be intentional for the image to be darker or lighter but if in your case you want to fix the problem, one of the easier and non-destructive ways to do it is to use the screen/multiply layer technique. Non-destructive darkening of a photo If your photo is too light and you don’t want to get into the business of using the advanced and complicated levels method of adjustment and find the results of using the contrast/brightness adjustment less than desirable try this: with the photo loaded in Photoshop click on ctrl-J(PC)to duplicate the current layer which should be the one with the photo in it. Select the new duplicate layer and change it’s blending method on the layers palette from “normal” to “multiply”. You image should now be considerably darker while maintaining the tonal qualities of the image. Now you can adjust the amount of darkening by varying the amount of opacity for the multiply level. The lower the opacity, the subtler the effect becomes. Non-destructive lightening of a photo For photos that are too dark, the procedure is basically the same except that instead of changing the blend mode of the new duplicate layer to “multiply” you change it to “screen” which will lighten the image while maintaining tonal properties. Again, lowering the opacity of the new “screen” layer lessens the effect. Make it so Once you have lightened or darkened your image in this manner, you can go back and adjust the effect at any time by varying the opacity of the layer. If you make any changes to the base layer itself especially ones involving adding or removing details you will have to toss the multiply or screen layer and redo the effect. At some point, when you are happy with the effect and anticipation of other touch-ups, you will want to merge the duplicate layer into the photo base layer it was copied from by clicking on the Layers palette menu button (the little round button with the play arrow up near the top-right corner) and selecting merge down. Once his is done, the changes are permanent and can only be undone using the history palette or undo. At this point, you can continue with your photo editing. Non-destructive sharpening the easy way Once you have adjusted the overall tone of your image, you may want to sharpen it. In most cases, today’s digital cameras just don’t produce sharp images. That’s not the case every time but in most cases it’s true. Where this is a very basic introduction to some easy techniques for touching up your images, I won’t get into using the advanced tools like the unsharp mask. The standard sharpens and sharpens more filters are generally too harsh and offer you no control. I prefer using the high pass sharpening method since it produces far better results with more control and it’s really easy to implement and not permanent unless you make it so. Let’s get into it: Use the ctrl-J(PC) method for duplicating the original photo layer (usually the background layer). Select the duplicate layer and change the layer’s blending mode from “normal” to “overlay”. Don’t worry if the coloration looks weird, it will get better in a minute. Now click on the Filter menu and then down to the “Other” filter in the list. Choose “High Pass” (Filter>Other>High Pass). Now you are shown a preview picture of your image and a slider for “Radius”. Sliding this value up to higher values sharpens the image more. In most cases, a value between 1.0 and 5.0 is sufficient but you can see the results as you move the slider so play with it until the image is sharper without overdoing it. Click “Ok” to accept. If you are satisfied at this point, you can merge the duplicate “overlay” layer to finalize the effect. Removing Color Casts Lastly, if your photo has a more or less uniform color cast to it, say blue for instance, and you want to remove it without the hassles of the more advanced Curves, Levels and Color Balance features you can try this trick: create a new blank layer above your photo using the “new layer” button at the bottom of the Layers palette. Click on the Edit menu and select “Fill” (Edit>Fill) or hit shift-F5(PC). On the now present Fill menu, select the drop-down list for “Use:” at the top under “Contents”. Select 50% Gray to fill the entire new layer with 50% gray. Change the blend mode for the 50% gray layer from “normal” to “difference”. Don’t worry about the weird look. Now click on the Layers menu and select “New Adjustment Layer” and on the next sub-menu choose “Threshold” (Layers>New Adjustment Layer>Threshold). You are now presented with a New Layer dialog. Leave all the options including the “use previous layer to create clipping mask” option as-is. Just click “Ok”. Now you should be looking at the Threshold layer dialog which shows a black and white chart of your image and a slider. Make sure “Preview” is checked so you can see the effects on the actual image as you adjust the threshold. Adjust the slider all the way to the left down to a value of 1. As you do, the actual image should turn all white. Now carefully and slowly adjust the slider back to the right until the very first black dots on the actual image appear and immediately stop. Do not press “Ok” yet. Now hold ctrl-space(PC) to bring up the zoom in tool. Hold the tool over one of the black dots and zoom into it several times. Release ctrl-space(PC) and the eyedropper tool should return. Hold the shift(PC) key which should change the tool from the eyedropper to the Color Sample Tool which looks like the eyedropper with a little target image in the top-left corner. Put this tool right over the black dot you zoomed into and left-click the mouse to put a little target (labeled 1) on the black dot. This precise little black dot represents an exact pixel in your image that should be neutral gray but probably isn’t due to the color cast. You may now hit the “Cancel” button on the threshold adjustment dialog to avoid adding the new adjustment layer. You may delete the 50% gray layer you created. You should still be zoomed into the target you just dropped onto the image on what was a black dot, if not zoom into it now. Click the Image menu and choose the Adjustments option. On the sub-menu choose the “Levels” option (Image>Adjustments>Levels) or you may hit ctrl-L(PC). On the Levels dialog, you should see another black and white chart of your image. Make sure “Preview” is checked in this dialog as well. Near the bottom-right of the dialog are three eyedroppers, the left is for setting the image’s black point, the right is for setting the image’s white point, and the middle eyedropper is for setting the images neutral gray point. Click the middle eyedropper. Now move the eyedropper right over onto the actual image and precisely onto the center of the target you placed earlier. You should immediately see the effects of doing so and this should now have removed the color cast from your image. Click “Ok” if you are satisfied with the results. Please bear in mind that this technique doesn’t work in every case but is quite effective when it does and easy to tweak and or undo if need be. Well, that’s it, just a few good layers techniques to get you going on your way. By no means are these the only tricks and I highly recommend doing some research and learn how to use the more advanced tools I mentioned since they offer way more control and much better results in the hands of a skilled user. Keep on Photoshop’n! echo $variable;The post How to Use Photoshop Layers to Enhance Your Photos appeared first on Photoshop Online. via Blogger How to Use Photoshop Layers to Enhance Your Photos The Ultimate Adobe PhotoshopThis tutorial will show you how to combine multiple instances of a single object in one frame without it looking like a digitally manipulated photo at all! You can create some great effects by combining subjects of different sizes and perspectives. You can even make great posters and cards this way. Step 1: Apart from the subject, the rest of the frame is static. Setup your camera on a tripod to maintain a static frame. Then shoot the subject at various positions within the frame. Note that the exposure has to be consistent in all the shots. Using the manual mode is the best way to get uniform exposure, or else use the program mode with the ISO speed set to a fixed value. Avoid using flash. Step 2: Open all the images simultaneously in Photoshop. These will open in individual windows. You now have to select any image as the base and paste the other images as layers within it. Bring the image to be pasted as a layer in the foreground by clicking its title bar Step 3: Hide all the layers except the background layer and an additional layer. The Eye icon to the left of each layer in the Layer tab indicates layer visibility. Clicking the Eye icon toggles visibility. With the additional layer selected, click the ‘Add Layer Mask’ button on the toolbar at the bottom of the Layers tab. The layer mask will show up as a white thumbnail to the right of the layer thumbnail. Select it by clicking on it. Step 4: Select the Brush Tool from the toolbar and set the brush diameter to 150 pixels. Set the foreground color to black. Now using the brush, paint the area where the subject is present in the background layer. The subject will gradually appear as you paint. Paint until the subject appears completely and then press [Ctrl]+E to merge the background and masked layers. Step 5: If you shot the subject at two positions, your job is done. Save the file in the desired format. But if you have shot the subject at more than two positions, then make one of the additional layers visible and follow from step 3 onwards. echo $variable;The post Photographing the Impossible? Use Photoshop to Make it Look Real appeared first on Photoshop Online. via Blogger Photographing the Impossible? Use Photoshop to Make it Look Real In this tutorial, we will be learning how to blend two or more images together to make a banner. You will need to open up the graphics program you will be using. I highly recommend Adobe Photoshop CS2. Once you’ve opened up your program you will need to create a new document. You can set the width and height to any size that you desire. Throughout this tutorial, I will be using a 700 x 400 pixel document with the background white. Next, you will need to select the images you will want to use. I’ve selected to use the very popular, Hayden Panettiere from the TV show; Heroes. I chose three images of her from her recent photo shoot with OK Magazine. Once you’ve got open your images, you will need to resize them all so they all will be able to fit onto your blank document. After you’ve resized them, you will need to copy and paste them into the blank document. When you have them pasted on the new document, move the images around until you like where you have them. Each image should be layered on top of each other. I usually have my middle image on top of my images on the side. Now your images are layered, right? Our next step is to blend them together. There are many ways to blend images together. Some people choose to use the eraser tool, the masking tool, or even the selection tool. I like to use my eraser tool or masking, but whatever you know the best I recommend you use. During this tutorial, I will be using the eraser tool since it is the easiest tool of all. Select the eraser tool, once you have that selected at the top toolbar there will be a drop-down menu next to the word “Brush”. Select the drop down menu and a box will appear, you will need to set your eraser tool to 100px, and then set your Hardness to 18%. After you’ve set those, you will need to set the Opacity for your eraser tool to 50%. Now that you’ve got your settings for your eraser tool all set, you will need to start blending your images together. You will need to erase away the entire excess of the image that you don’t need. Erase the outside of the middle image until you start to see the images blending together. Once you have the images blended together how you like them. Go to Layer on your top toolbar then select Merge Visible. This will merge all your images together. Once you’ve done that, go to Filter – Sharpen – Sharpen. I usually sharpen my blend one to two times. Next, you will want to go to Layer – Duplicate Layer then set your Blend Mode to Multiply 100%. Duplicate your layer again, and set that layer to Screen 100%. Merge all your layers together again. From here you can do any type of effects that you want to do. Most people like to use textures, patterns, and coloring to their images. I’ve decided to color my blend and add some fancy text. I went to Layer – New Fill Layer – Solid Color. Once the screen pops up, I’ve selected a color that I like, and selected OK. I usually set my color layer to Screen 100%, but most people like to set theirs to Color 100%. Next, I created a new layer and added my text. I set my text in a color from the blend, and then I added some Blending Options to it. You can play around with your Blending Effects until you’ve created something you like. Your end result should look like mine. echo $variable;The post Blending Images in Adobe Photoshop CS2 appeared first on Photoshop Online. via Blogger Blending Images in Adobe Photoshop CS2 A Photoshop How-TOGiving a photo the old and weathered look is pretty popular these days. The problem is that a lot of these photos are brand new, taken with high-end photography equipment that doesn’t leave much room for human error and that worn-out grunge look (especially if the photo is brand new). Don’t worry, though, giving your photographs a worn-out and old feeling is relatively easy with a few Photoshop tricks. So grab a photo, open photoshop and follow along. Open your image and duplicate your layer by going to Layer >> Duplicate layer and then change your new layers blending mode to Hard Light using the blending mode drop-down menu in the Layers Palette. Next, go to your Filter menu and choose Other >> High Pass. For this example, I chose a radius of 15 pixels, but use your judgment and experiment in your own photoshop file. Here is a cool Photoshop trick. With both layers visible and you are using Photoshop on a MAC hit Command-Option-Shift-E (for a PC hit Ctrl-Alt-Shift-E). This adds a new layer to your image that is a direct composite of the two layers. It is basically the same thing as merging the two layers and duplicating it, but instead, you still have your originally two layers intact and unmerged. Anyways, change this composite layer to Overlay using the blend mode menu in the Layers palette. Now take that Overlay layer and apply a Sharpening Filter to it. Be sure to sharpen the layer much more than you would for a touch-up. For my example, i went although to 175 with a radius of 3. To give it a more weathered look it’s a good idea to take some of the saturation out and add a warm tint to the image. Go to Layer >> New Adjustment Layer >> Hue/Saturation. Click the colorize checkbox which applies a color to the image. Use the Hue slider to choose a warm color and keep the Saturation and Lightness sliders at a pretty neutral level, but feel free to experiment with those sliders in your Photoshop image. Next, bring the opacity of this level down to let some color from underneath show through. I used an opacity of 50%. I’d say it’s pretty much done and I’m sure your photo has gone a long way, but if you want to create even more of a weathered effect you can create a new layer and fill it with 50% Grey by choosing Edit >> Fill on your new layer and selecting 50% Grey from the color menu in the Fill dialogue box. Change this layer to use the Hard Light blending mode just like you do at the beginning of the process by selecting Hard Light from the blending mode options in the Layers palette. Give this layer some noise, using your judgment, and be sure check on monochromatic. You now have an image that looks old, weathered, and grungy. Just the effect you wanted! echo $variable;The post Achieving the Old and Grungy Look in Photoshop appeared first on Photoshop Online. via Blogger Achieving the Old and Grungy Look in Photoshop |
